#3 Bhuvneshwar Kumar vs Sanju Samson
As evidenced by his staggering tally of 15 wickets from just 5 matches, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has looked threatening almost everytime he has come on to bowl in this tournament. Apart from striking with the new-ball, the seamer returns in the death overs to land the decisive blows.
Since the Daredevils boast of an exuberant and in-form top order, his opening spell contains the potential to set the foundation for Hyderabad.
Squaring up against him will be Sanju Samson who has scored the only century in this IPL edition thus far. The talented right-hander can take the game away from the opposition very quickly. Even if Bhuvneshwar tests his resolve by moving the ball both ways, he won’t be the one to hold back.
